Taskbar missing windows vista?

Question

my girl was on the computer and she has done something and i have lost the taskbar and i was wondering how i get it back

Answer 1

I assume it reappears when you put the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen; right-click the 'start button & click 'properties'. Click the 'taskbar' tab & uncheck 'auto hide the taskbar' then 'OK'.

If the bar is at the top or side, just click & drag it to the correct location on the screen.

Answer 2

Try F10 or F11

Answer 3

You probably need to Lock the Task Bar on you're Desktop.that's why it's missing.

I've done this myself!

Right click the Taskbar and select:"Lock the Taskbar"

It should do it now,..and will have a tick beside it.

Answer 4

One of several things might have happened:

1) You may have accidentally put the screen in Full Screen mode.  Try pressing the F11 key to fix this.

2) The taskbar may be hiding.

1.Look for a thin line on one edge of the screen.  

2.Click on it.  The Taskbar should open up.

3.Right click in the Taskbar and select Properties.

4.Uncheck the Auto-Hide the Taskbar menu item.

5.Click OK.

Hope that helps.
